The squeeze that is always “not here”, “this is not the squeeze”. What do you think the institutional investors holding enormous numbers of shares are doing “HODLing”. They are collecting premiums on covered calls all week, running automated social media campaigns about how “the squeeze is definitely tomorrow, eat crayons” and burning the calls by tanking the price, selling puts, and running the price up against the outs they sold. They are doing it with Tesla too, Crypto futures, Wish, Clov, Wkhs, Ride, anything you see in reddit.
And you may ask, “if they run the price back up? The calls go back in the money!” No they don’t, because they rely on retail taking losses on the run down, buy the calls back while selling puts, then run the price back up.
You may also a ask, “Why not hodl shares?”. They want you to do that. Forever. Yes it’s possible that when barcoding the price generates little implied volatility on options, they’ll “start the real squeeze” again and you can get out, but not after waiting a long time, half a year.
But the real reason the want you to hodl is they know what the end result is, After they are done collecting premiums upon premiums, they’ll do what they did with every other stock they “short squeeze”. They bail, coordinating a mass sell off, leaving hodlers with a non dividend paying highly diluted stock with a ceo well paid.
They either go bankrupt, buyback, reverse split, let 4 or 5 years pass, and then repeat the process.
It seems the only way to win is to just buy blackrock itself and collect dividends. Ive personally shifted to microsoft
gme/amc to the moon
It’s manipulation to sell options. The only people losing are retail, I fucking guarantee it. Where do you think Blackrock is getting all that money to buy up all this property?
T-21 date tomorrow for gamestop.
Rule 002 goes in effect.
Gme goes up.
See what I mean? They made you believe that. But GME went down. Tomorrow it will go up to Max-Pain toward $217.5 to kill puts.
Whenever they run out of people interested in the options, the "squeeze" will start happening again, and they'll consolidate it up and down selling as many options as they can and forcing them out of the money.
I think Tesla is pulling the same bullshit, everything on the internet is fake to an alarming degree.
I think china is behind all of it, can you imagine a better way to cripple an entire nation than to use the internet to manipulate the entire retail sector of the stock market into overleveraging themselves?
Is that why the covid crash crashed so hard?
Has china been repeatedly pumping and dumping us?
FUD
Did you watch how it whipped up at the end of the day to kill 0dte puts the price it meandered around all day? Stocks don’t move like that organically. It’s fucking manipulation
I was right
Crypto is Chinas doing. Every fucking 8 years those losers fuck with it.
